Neighbors to retired cop: 'No 9/11 flag'

CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. — A retired New York police officer was asked by his homeowner's association to take down a commemorative 9/11 flag.

Two flags — the American flag and the 9/11 Flag of Honor, faded and embroidered with victims' names — fly outside the home of Richard Wentz, according to Fox News. An ordinance says residents are only allowed to display one flag, and that it must be the American flag.

Wentz assisted at Ground Zero by pulling people out of Tower 1 before it collapsed, he said, and he has cancer thought to be from exposure to toxins at the site.
